It will be screened on 15th August 2013, at 7:00 pm, at the New York Museum of Art and Design the documentary “An evening with Quentin Crisp & Penny Arcade”, a smashing film depicting the art and wisdom of Quentin Crisp, an Englishman in New York and reminding me the song by Sting dedicated to the artist. A story under the sign of romanticism, power of ideas, dandyism and art. The film is part of a wider project, “The Lower East Side Biography Project”, created in 1999 by the vibrant performance artist Penny Arcade and video producer Steve Zehentner as a biography series and oral history archive in order to ensure future generations have access to the mad souls of invention and rebellion that built the New York Lower East Side’s international reputation, area considered as an incubator for authenticity and iconoclasm in art, culture and politics. A not to be missed – free – event to enjoy and know more and better about an iconic artist.
